Uyghurs live a dystopian nightmare of constant surveillance and brutal policing. At least three million of them are believed to be living in what the U.N. described as a \u201cmassive internment camp that is shrouded in secrecy,\u201d while many Uyghur children are taken to state-run orphanages where they’re indoctrinated into Chinese customs. The Uyghurs’ plight has largely been kept hidden from the world, thanks to China\u2019s aggressive attempts to suppress the story at all costs. VICE News\u2019 Isobel Yeung posed as a tourist to gain unprecedented access to China\u2019s western Xinjiang region, which has been nearly unreachable by journalists. She and our crew experienced China\u2019s Orwellian surveillance and harassment first-hand during their time in Xinjiang, and captured chilling hidden-camera footage of eight Uyghur men detained by police in the middle of the night. We spoke with members of the Uyghur community about their experience in these camps, and about China\u2019s attempts to silence their history and lifestyle under the cover of darkness.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
